[Flashcoders] Dynamic variables in as3

[Phil Douglas]

Does anybody know of a way to create and reference dynamic variables in
as3. Specifically movie clips, but if there's a difference between them
and any other type of variables, that'd be good to know.

 

In as2 this would be

 

for(var i:Number =0; i < acRate; i++){
        this.createEmptyMovieClip('p'+i,this.getNextHighestDepth())
        this['p'+i]._x = i*10
        this['p'+i]._y = i*10
}

 

However in as3 it would need to be something like

 

for(var i:Number =0;i < acRate; i++){
        var ['p'+i]:MovieClip = new MovieClip()
        this['p'+i].x = i*10
        this['p'+i].y = i*10
}

 

Which doesn't work of course. Does anybody have a work around for this,
or is it no longer possible to create undeclared variables at run time.

 

Thanks all

 

Phil
